Sally Armstrong feels certain that things are looking up. The Canadian journalist, activist, Amnesty International Award Winner and member of the Order of Canada’s newest book, Ascent of Women, chronicles the “incremental gains women have made on political and economic levels and at how these gains point to further progress. And some of the gains, she points out, have been not only incremental, but explosive.” (writes the London Free Press)
A thorough look at women’s status from around the world, there is much to soberly absorb. The stories are often tragic, but Armstrong affirms that “they aren’t victims, they’re victors.” And there are are triumphant stories, changemakers whose efforts are changing tides, and who offer a basis for the hopeful approach Armstrong takes.
Check out this interview with Armstrong, in which she talks about Malala Yousafzi, the Steubenville rape case, and more:
